And instead, he points at an admiral and says, well, that's the guy that flipped the switch.
But I really want you to know I'm behind.
But there was one thing I wanted to kind of throw to Mark here about because I think one of the kind of shifty things they're doing is they're implying that a four star admiral would have done this on his own initiative.
And somehow the Secretary of Defense was just out of that loop.
And, you know, you have a three-star sitting right here.
I cannot imagine a four-star saying, you know what, we've hit it.
There's some guys in the water.
On my own initiative and without the involvement of the Secretary, I'm just going to hit it again.
That is not, I mean, Mark can tell you, that is not how these things get done.
There was no way that Pete Hegseth was out of that loop.
And I think everybody that you're talking to, all these members of Congress, this is, you know, the problem of cowardice in the age of Trump.
Justice and Murkowski, all of them, they all know what happened.
They get it.

But I really felt strongly that this evolving narrative of, well, Admiral Bradley would have taken this on himself because Hank Seth may not understand the laws of war.
But Mark Hertling and Mitch Bradley and people at that level that they've had that drilled into them, they've had it infused into their DNA.
at that level of command.
So I just wanted to get that out there.
That's a big deal to say.
I'm going to give up my four-star just to get out of this.
